Title: Tide's Jesse Williams almost could lift two D.J. Flukers -- at once (updated)

The buzz continues about Alabama nose guard Jesse Williams' 600-pound lift on the bench press not long before preseason camp started. Excepted there was no buzz in his native Australia.

It's hard to impress those Aussies. I mean, it's not like he kicked a ball 600 yds meters.

 :D

The part of him that has impressed me more this year is his role of being a team leader. His weight lifting has no doubt impressed his teammates and earned him a lot of respect from them but his desire to teach the younger players has earned him more respect. :clap:

I can't remember the last time that the anticipation of watching a defensive player was this high. It all started with his exhibition of strength at Pro-day. Really got the NFL scouts drooling. And now this. 22 days to go. Wooot!!!!

These guys are building their own team identity. I think is going to be a brotherhood like we haven't seen before. They celebrate each other so much and the laughter. This is going to be 11 players together for one purpose. RTR!
